You are still under the impression that the average user needs that kind 
of computing power.  Just how much more power does it take to read this 
message?  I've been reading FIDO since I owned an 8088 system with Tandy 
DOS on it.  Does Vista make it any better?  Hell, no. It makes it HARDER!

The point has flown completely over your head.  Your much happier to 
re-invent the wheel because Billy and company want you to.

That's bull crap, Ross.  You either know it or you were sold on the 
corporate model of Planned Obsolescence.  Just how fancy a font do you 
have to have to read and write plain text?  It is you doing the 
parroting.

That is absolutely nothing less than condescension on your part.

Have you figured out that they know better than M$ as to what their 
customers really want?
